Description
DesktopSMS 1.11.0 by MrPear contains an unauthorized access vulnerability that allows local attackers to transmit SMS, retrieve SMS-derived content, and persist an attacker-selected paired identity by interacting with the application's local service without any pairing confirmation or user interaction. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated local service through same-device loopback to perform privileged SMS operations using the victim application's permissions.
